    Looks pretty under your hood. You'll be better off with SFC if you want a stiffer chassis.

      An STB keeps the front chassis from bending inwards during turns and otherwise flexing when going over bumps - I really enjoy mine and noticed a big difference after installing mine. Great investment for just $90, the install is easy sneezy.

        Will it fit my 95 3.4 auto?

          Yes, it will fit.

          You should get the subframe connectors too like Dom suggested. Especially since you have a convertable. Big difference.

            here is the info that i've come upon while looking into these things (i've been wanting to get one myself, but since I have a Coupe (no t-tops, or convertible top), i've decided against going with any of these things for now.

            If you have a convertible or a t-top car, subframes will make the ride better and the strut bar will tighten up the front end a lot making for better turning control, etc.

            if you don't have t-tops, just replace the shocks and that'll make the most noticeable difference other than doing the subframe and strut tower brace solution.

            just my 2¢

              The best way to describe what the STB did for my car is this.You know how when you take a hard corner the opposite side of the car tends to "dip" down toward the road?The STB takes care of that.The car just turns and goes now,there is no more "dipping".The sub-frames helped stiffen the car even more.

                Yeah, subframe connectors are probably the best bang for the buck suspension mod you can do. GM should've included them on the coupes anyway (some weak ones already come on the conv). I have BMR weld-in SFCs, and the difference is night and day. The whole chassis feels 10X stiffer, and the suspension can do its job more effectively. The STB is okay, but our cars don't need it nearly as much as SFCs.

                  Get the STB. You won't regret it. Well worth the money. Front suspension is so much better with it. Minimizes high speed cowl shake, car more responsive in turns. Well worth the money. I have a hard top so I didn't need the SFCs, but they're right about them. Even if you go with the SFCs, I would still get the STB. They address two different areas in my opinion.
